polls show governor romney got a boost from first debate performance, no question. his campaign is obviously looking to keep that trend going. one of his senior advisors says tomorrow the romney team expects the president to, quote: launch one attack after another in an attempt to distract from his record and make up for his weak performance in denver. however, the format of tomorrow's debate could make that pretty difficult. you see, it's a town hall with both men answering questions that are submitted by the audience. so they may have fewer opportunities to actually take direct jabs at one another. but, you can bet governor romney will be looking for any chance to hammer home about the president and the attack on our consulate in libya and how the administration handled it we'll have more on that with ed henry who is tonight in williamsburg, virginia where the president has been practicing for tomorrow. he will have all the details. first, let's get to carl cammeron in new york tonight. tell us how both sides have been getting ready. >> well, for mr. romney he has

while obama is winning the war on the wallet, romney is showing up in the polling numbers. rasmussen reports daily presidential tracking poll shows romney gathered multiple votes, virtually a dead heat. romney leads in florida with 51% of the vote, 47% for obama, as a reminder obama carried florida over john mccain in 2008 by 51-48% margin. romney leads again for 9% to 47%. still pretty tight. you know how the numbers are flip-flopped. 48% to 47%. experts say the improved run the numbers most likely stem from his debate performance two weeks ago, but polls can be inaccurate. democratic primary in 2008 polls clinton way ahead by at least 10 points and average for months, and then senator obama was an afterthought. remember that? look at this, october 2004 just a week before the presidential election, john kerry was leading george w. bush. he went on to win by an even larger margin. so tomorrow night we get another reading. will romney continued the momentum or will obama rally? will find out in 27 hours. last week we told you about two professors whose computer program predi
